BARTIROMO: Are you expecting to close down entire agencies? President Trump has talked about the Department of Education, for example
RAMASWAMY: We expect mass reductions. We expect certain agencies to be deleted outright.

I ran against Ron DeSantis for Congress in 2012 when the Tea Party was all the rage … I know a Poli-Celeb when I see one. Not talented enough for real celebrity and not bright enough for real statesmanship.

Trump only cares about people who can vote for him and people who can give him money. And he doesn’t need your vote anymore, peasant.
In recent weeks, the “Make America Healthy Again” flock has grown skeptical of the Trump Administration. A clean-farming advocate called a bill to shield pesticide manufacturers from lawsuits “the most enormous slap in the face to MAHA.”
Will the MAHA Moms Turn on Trump?
A leaked draft of a White House report on how to “Make Our Children Healthy Again” suggests that the Administration will do little to address food safety or nutrition.

When Katie Chubb was pregnant she wanted to have her baby at a birth center, but there was no local option. Now she's trying to open one herself. She has community support, but not from the hospitals.
She's trying to open a birth center near a maternity desert. It's not easy

Mental health conditions, like suicides & overdoses, are the leading underlying causes of maternal deaths in the US.
Antidepressants save women's lives—& they're safe.
So why is RFKJr's FDA hell-bent on undermining their use among pregnant & postpartum moms?

Is the FDA about to keep pregnant women from taking antidepressants?
A panel of experts repeated what one women's health expert called "MAHA talking points."

MAGA is comfortable tossing around pejorative’s like “moron,” “idiot,” and “retard.” It’s an early conditioning to dehumanize people with (perceived or real) disabilities similar to “aliens,” and “enemies of the state.” And it’s a tactic that was used in the ‘30s. @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social

Something for every bookie in here
I’ve seen two authors post about being done with publishing this week and it breaks my heart. And I know I’ve certainly been struggling to sell books with everything of late - most of us have.
So please, if you’d like, tell us about your book in this thread and let’s get some traction going! ⬇️

I’m at the (George) McGovern Library digging thru archives. Most surprising find? His book on the Ludlow massacre of coal miners was adapted for the big screen but wasn’t made. The 1980’s was a rejection of social justice battles but 2025 seems like a perfect time to finally make that movie!

I can. It describe how much I love that it is Cory who will end that 24 hour racist rant
Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes.
The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.
